Silly pet peeve's?

[Chris_]

I hate when Yankees move down south and correct our language.  Down here it is them who has the accent.



By the way it is peee-can.

As opposed to pee-KHAN?

Exactly.

And it is the PO-lice, right?  Not puleese...

[LadyLiberty]

BAD SERVICE and people who say they are going to show up and then don't...or people who do a half-assed job...or people who come to do something and in the process, screw something else up that requires more work to be done...or people who come to do work and make a big mess....

I really need to quit this thread

There is a "u" in the word aunt.   An ant is an insect.  My biggest silly pet peeve.

My husband corrects me all the  time on that one, saying it is "Ant". He is southern, and I guess I'm a "yankee"...yeah, right

Someone showing me a pic of her, saying she was coming to the GTG, and then not showing. There's a pet peeve.

None of those are "silly" though. Anyone would be all  in those situations. LOL

In linux or unix, getting anything other then the cursor moving back a space when I hit the backspace key.

Most of these things are generally what put me in a bad mood...and then I come here and feel better. Maybe I just shouldn't leave my house as often as I do...I am about done hiring anyone to do anything around the house anymore...I'm starting to think this is why so many people around here let their homes go to pot until they sell them

Oh, for cryin' out loud 

No one was more disappointed in that outcome than me

Down here white people say "Ant" and black people say "Un-tee"

He told me that I am pronouncing it the way black people do, "Aunt", and white people pronounce it "Ant".

I tell him that the black people are correct

Do you live down here or up there?

[LadyLiberty]

I grew up in the North, but both sets of grandparents lived in VA., with my parternal set being from Alabama. I spent a LOT of time growing up there, VA...and being in the south was my preference.

I have lived in the south since 1993.

I will say that (another) pet peeve of mine is the entire New England accent (pawk the caw by the rivvah) 

I NEVER talked that way.

If you live in the south, then he's right.

I thought New Englanders "pawk the caw in the rivvah"

How about the idiot that decides to write a check in the "express lane" at the supermarket (with a long line waiting), directly under the sign that reads "Cash, credit and debit cards only"......

Was in line one day when a lady did that, and I remarked.... "mam, there is a special place in hell for people like you......", she was quite upset with me, but the cashier was laughing so hard she could hardly stand up......

Oh, how I hate that, and I AM a cashier.

Now I KNOW LL is my long lost twin! She covered pretty much my entire list.

With age I've determined that my capacity for bullsh*t has decreased. Here's a few more:

1. People who don't bathe. You know it's bad when it's cold outside and you still smell people a mile away. I nearly lost my lunch in a sandwich shop the other day. They were standing in front of us and every time someone would move, it would send a cloud of fumes our way. I kept backing up but there were people behind us too so I was trapped. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled about my food when I got it. Thank goodness they took theirs to go.

Seriously people! It's called soap! I know you walk past it. I've seen you in the grocery store. Another place they make green clouds.

2. People who tailgate you when you are going at least 10 miles over the speed limit, then when you move over, they don't pass you.

3. Parents that ignore thier children. The child is standing there saying..."mommy, mommy, mommy etc etc"  ANSWER THE CHILD...ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHILD IS THERE

4. People who clip thier fingernails in public.....do your hygeine at home, thanks.

5. I can't stand it when people just walk out into the street (or parking lot) without even making eye contact with the drivers zooming by!!! It shocked me when I first moved here because NO ONE in Texas dares walk out in front of a car without first looking both ways, making eye contact with the driver and then scurrying along as fast as they can. I guess people in Texas know you'll hit them.

6. Buffet/all you can eat hogs!!!

2. People who tailgate you when you are going at least 10 miles over the speed limit, then when you move over, they don't pass you.

That is definitely one of my pet peeves.  Having a newer vehicle makes it so much worse.  I was on the interstate last night and someone was doing that.  I was trying to stay calm, but it was hard to do so.

I believe that habit is limited to fat senators from Taxachusetts.

A heavy trailer hitch mounted at the average radiator height will cut down on that one.  *wink, wink*

Ohhh, that is a good list, Dixie. Yup, I have a VERY low threshold of tolerance for bullshit.

And, along with your parent(s) who ignore their kid like that, are the ones who bring their kids to places like restaraunts...screaming and crying, when the kid should be home in bed  And the parents just sit there and do nothing about it, because they don't care if it disturbs the other patrons are not.

Yup, this society is becoming more and more rude and inconsiderate.

I have never seen anyone clip their fingernails in public EW!
